FBI Director faces criticism after Brown University shooting

FBI Director Kash Patel faces criticism after a Wisconsin man was detained and released in connection with the Brown University shootings. On Sunday, the FBI director made a lengthy social media post about the bureau’s efforts to detain a person of interest in the Saturday night shooting that killed two and wounded nine on the Providence Rhode Island campus. Local authorities said in a press conference Sunday night that a tip came in about the person of interest, which the FBI picked up and investigated. The evidence wasn’t sufficient to keep the 24-year-old from Wisconsin in custody, and he was released. It’s unclear how some media outlets obtained the man’s name when he was not charged with any crime.
